Religion may not survive the Internet

RE: Religion may not survive the Internet

One cannot, by definition, be a theist unless they believe in a claim which lacks any legitimate substance. This is not necessary to be a non-believer.

Quote:Yeah, like abiogenesis.

1. This is a theory supported by evidence, however substantial. Your religious belief is supported by absolutely no evidence at all.
2. Belief in abiogenesis is absolutely unnecessary to be an atheist, and there are doubtless many who do not accept it.
3. I've seen precisely zero atheists claim that it is undeniably factual.

Quote:Considering abiogenesis, atheists are almost certainly guilty of it as well.

Every theist that ever lived is beyond guilty of blind faith in entirely unsupported assertions. No matter how many atheists may be guilty of it, certainly many are not.
